Like many, I've joined up with Skype and have been happy with the service. I've gone as far as paying an additional fee for a Skype-In number - a normal phone number that allows anyone to "call" my computer. The quality has been great, though sometimes it's noticeable that I'm not using a real phone. Other times, the other end had no idea I was calling from my PC.
Today, while browsing Democracy TV (that's another post but worth checking out) I came across a video made by a fourth grade class. One of the children in the class can't make it to school, she has leukemia. The teacher with help from the local parents setup a laptop in the room to run Skype video conferencing, connecting the girl to the class. You can watch the video, titled "Inclusion," at the school's website.
